Default got carried away...

i bought some 15mm spacers for the rear.

this is how it all started. i got a nail on the sidewall of the driver rear tire... and it scrapped off the paint on the rear fender . so i dicided to make some more clearence and do some more fender work...

now i need to get it painted.
but this is the out come so far... flame on!!




Edit: added more pictures on page 2

A little too much but not bad. With some fender work, it's going to look like the GS is in a really aggressive stance.

edit:

took a second look at it... yeah, it's a bit too much.

thats fat! but will that cause the inside of your tire to wear out faster?

I just did my alignment yesterday. YOU MAY be able to get it to 1degree.
It makes a WORLD of difference on your tire wear.

maybe smaller spacers or stretch your tires a little bit to help with clearance.

exhaust looks like the greddy PE, but the only logos on it is Jasma.

Sleeper408- Deja Vu is correct. but this time i went over board... i cant just buy new fenders.. hehe

Cpone- i guess i will swing by my alignment shop and see whats up.
